Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

I don't have the bottle yet- it's on it's way to me. I certainly hope it's not a fake.

Good luck, then! I think the colour of the bottle looks a little strange as well, but that could be just the picture.

Anyway, the five digit batch codes had been in use up until 1997/98. With the newer four digit batchcodes, the year of production can be told by the first digit (a number). In the nineties the codes were printed in white/silver, from the year 2000 onwards they were black.

As for the five digit codes, I have one that starts with a 7 and according to the leaflet inside the box it is from 1997. So I assume that in those cases the first digit refers to the year of production as well. If that's true, yours must be from 1989 because in 1999 the four digit codes were already in use.

Thank you for the info ^. Very informative!

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

This has been an interesting read. I don't know if it has anything to do with the reformulation or not, but I remember not liking Fahrenheit when it was released. I was in high school as well, and was very into Drakkar at the time But I am completely infatuated and addicted to it now though.

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

I bought two 200 ml testers bottles of Dior Fahrenheit, in Check Cosmetics they say that's produced in 1987!!

But Fahrenheit was launched in 1988, is that possible???

Did i find a some real vintage!!

Someone can help me?

Thanks,

Forget checkcosmetics, it's really good for nothing! I still have to figure out how the five-digit-batch-codes work, but I think the year can also be told by the first digit. That would mean that your bottle is from 1993. I have one starting with a 7, which according to the leaflet inside the box is from 1997.

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

Hello there expert basenoters, just a quick question from a relative 'newbie' on the fragrance scene...

I purchased a Fahrenheit a while back (LOVE IT by the way) but I am not sure what version it is or indeed even if it is genuine! Any help would be appreciated so pics below!

Cast your experienced minds on the pics and please let me know if you can gauge anything from them... Thank you!

Thank you once again in advance..

Looks authentic. I would say a mid 2007 batch.

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

I picked up this little 5ml mini at an estate sale last year. The asking price was just $8 bucks. The prior owner estimated a time of purchase c. 1990. No lot label to check against. The lettering on the bottle is a bit worn from years of storage. The scent itself is like petroleum heaven. One of my best finds from last year.

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

Guys, hi!
Being a fan of Fahrenheit i just got the travel set 3*15 ml in old colors (red/yellow/blue). But the batch code says 1C01 which is 2011 based on checkcosmetics. It could not be the right information as its old package and vintage one.
Do you have any idea about Dior batch code assignment logic?
thanks

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

Hey!
I found this tester bottle on the net and im wandering if its genuine.
It has no cap, as u can see in the pics, and the owner told me the batch code is something like 9701. I haven't heard about codes like that till now. Maybe its something special made for testers?

Re: Vintage Fahrenheit?

I was given a bottle by a friend having a clear out. The box is still sealed but it is 50ml with a black, red and yellow box and in the yellow it says e50 ml. Tried adding a photo but could not get it to work, Is it likely this is a vintage bottle?

Seems to be vintage, the box you are describing was in use up to the year 2000 (give or take a year). To tell the exact year you'll need the batch code from the bottom of the box.
